OLDER, WISER?

They say experience comes with age. There is some truth in that especially as I am about to experience another birthday next week

Am I wiser? I like to think so. Am I smarter? Getting there! But for me, experiencing the joy of how God continues to change me daily is what is exciting. I do have my highs and lows like everybody else but hanging on to Jesus through thick and thin is proving how faithful He is.

What will I be doing for my birthday? Nothing planned but I love surprises. Maybe He has something special around the corner waiting for me. Watch this space!

I’m older but alas, no wiser
for I never stopped to think
that experience can be a miser
and its lessons did not link
to that which seemed obvious;
instead, they had a hidden call
to which I was oblivious,
and pride does go before the fall.
I went my mad and merry way,
repeating all my past disasters,
and my friend did wryly say
that I was one of chaos’ masters.
I just keep on, effervescent,
my calendar stuck on ‘adolescent’.
